report finding the Palatine, Illinois, school district unfairly denied a transgender teenager who
was undergoing hormone therapy but had not undergone gender reassignment surgery access to

Kogalymavia Flight 9268
U.S. intelligence analysts conclude the Russian plane was not brought down by surfaceto-air missile. An American infrared satellite detected a heat flash at the same time and same
place over the Sinai as the plane, but no evidence a missile was involved. Analysts believe it
could have been some kind of explosion on the aircraft itself, either a fuel tank or a bomb.
U.S. officials do not rule out that ISIL could have been responsible for bringing down the
flight. (NBC News) (http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/russian-plane-crashes-in-thesinai/satellite-shows-heat-flash-when-russian-metrojet-plane-crashed-no-n456161) (ABC

Antarctica. An increase in snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago outweighs increased

interior of West Antarctica exceeds losses in the other areas." (UPI) (http://www.upi.com
